Lunchtime buy: Pom Pom Shorts by Boutique

With the glorious weather us Brits enjoyed at the weekend, we’re willing the Indian Summer to last even longer by picking up a fab pair of do-it-all shorts. Yes, shorts in October.

This pom pom pair from Topshop Boutique tick all the boxes for the unpredictable weather we’re currently experiencing – and they’re on par with this season’s trends, too.

The sandy neutral beige will complement your fading brown legs over the next few days – the ideal length to maintain daytime leg-flashing modesty – and teamed with a tee, a blazer and cute pair of brogues, you’ll be looking totally transitional as the seasons begin to change.

Speaking of which, as the inevitable rain and wind arrive, the thick and raw-edged material promises to keep you warm through the winter while the candy-coloured pom poms will look suitably sweet teamed with wine-hued tights and chunky ankle boots.

You can’t go wrong with a purchase that’s both Freak Indian Summer and Bleak British Winter appropriate! For now, let us hope the shorts bring more sunshine. Ice cream, anyone?
